# Sensitive Data
# How does HDX define sensitive data?
# For the purpose of sharing data through HDX, we have developed the following
# categories to communicate data sensitivity:
# Non-Sensitive – This includes datasets containing country statistics,
# roadmaps, weather data and other data with no foreseeable risk associated
# with sharing.
# Uncertain Sensitivity – For this data, sensitivity depends on a number of
# factors, including other datasets collected in the same context, what
# technology is or could be used to extract insights, and the local context
# from which the data is collected or which will be impacted by use of the
# data.
# Sensitive – This includes any dataset containing personal data of affected
# populations or aid workers. Datasets containing
# demographically identifiable information (DII) or
# community identifiable information (CII)
# that can put affected populations or aid workers at risk, are also considered
# sensitive data. Depending on context, satellite imagery can also fall
# into this third category of sensitivity.
# Can I share personal data through HDX?
# HDX does not allow personal data or personally identifiable information (PII)
# to be shared in public or private datasets. All data shared through the
# platform must be sufficiently aggregated or anonymized so as to prevent
# identification of people or harm to affected people and the humanitarian
# community. We do allow private datasets to include contact information of
# aid workers if they have provided consentto the sharing of their data within
# the organisation. Read more in our Terms of Service.

# How does HDX assess the sensitivity of data?
# HDX endeavors not to allow publicly shared data that includes
# community identifiable information (CII) or
# demographically identifiable information (DII)
# that may put affected people at risk. However, this type of data is more
# challenging to identify within datasets during our quality assurance process
# without deeper analysis. In cases where we suspect that survey data may have
# a high risk of re-identification of affected people, we run an internal
# statistical disclosure control process using sdcMicro. Data is made private
# while we run this process. If the risk level is found to be too high for
# public sharing on HDX given the particular context to which the data relates,
# HDX will notify the data contributor to determine a course of action.
